Day by day

Detailed itinerary

Your exclusive Tanzanian adventure begins the moment you touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or pick up from Arusha hotel, where your professional private driver-guide greets you warm arms. Climb into your custom 4×4 safari cruiser and set off on a scenic overland drive westward, passing through the colorful Maasai plains, the Great Rift Valley escarpment, and the fertile Ngorongoro highlands. Enjoy en-route game viewing as you enter the gates of the legendary Serengeti National Park. In the afternoon, embark on your first private game drive across the sweeping savannah plains, tracking lions, cheetahs, leopards, and massive elephant herds. As dusk approaches, check in at the exclusive Moyo Luxury Camp for a gourmet dinner and a tranquil night under a starlit African sky.

Set out for an early morning game drive just as dawn breaks over the horizon, capturing active big cats returning from their nocturnal hunts and large herds of grazers moving through the cool morning air. Return to camp for a hot breakfast, pack your bags, and spend the mid-morning enjoying a final game drive through the Serengeti plains. Afterward, begin your journey toward the spectacular Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying panoramic views of the open savannah and traditional Maasai homesteads along the route. Arrive in the late afternoon and check in to the renowned Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. Perched directly on the edge of the crater rim, the lodge offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the ancient caldera bowl below.

• Premium Alternative (On Request): Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge / Rhino Lodge

Savor an early breakfast while watching the morning mist clear over the caldera before descending 600 meters down the steep volcanic walls onto the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Recognized as a self-contained wildlife sanctuary, the crater floor hosts an astonishing concentration of large mammals. Spend the morning on a flexible private game drive tracking the complete Big Five, including Africa’s rarest black rhinos, giant bull elephants, and dense prides of lions. Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch along the edge of the vibrant hippo pool, watching the resident hippos wallow. In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and begin your relaxed return drive to Arusha or directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your evening departure flight.
